The bidlines in BidX are diplayed as a in-line graphical calendar. The trips are color coded to distinguish quickly between front-end, back-end, double and no-deadhead trips. Layovers are also superimposed on the trips graphics to help identify the content of the trip. One can also easily deduce the layover length by the # of layover cities displayed on a trip.

Trip details can be easily determined by placing the mouse over a trip in the currently selected trip (which is shown in the linear calendar (Calendar Bar) at the top of the window. The trip text replaces the unselected bidlines when this is done. See below :

Trips can be sorted and filtered in many different ways. Here is a list of the sorts and filters currently available in BidX. Other sorts and filters will be created as requested.

One of the best features of BidX is that it is a work in progress. Requested filters and sorts are incorporated into BidX as time allows (sometimes very quickly). Generally speaking, if one person would like to sort/filter for a particular kind of trip, chances are someone else will too. I will make every effort to accommodate additions to the program in this way.

I will also make every effort to kill bugs as quickly as possible. I take pride in answering emails promptly and taking care of any issues the users of BidX might have.

Feel free to email me to get a free trial of BidX. In the future, a free trial will be available automatically on the "Purchase" page of the website.

Thanks for your support!
